Brathwaite has been a mainstay of the Windies' one-day side over the past 18 months, playing in 19 of their 20 most recent 50-over matches.

Best known for his final-over heroics in last year's World T20 final, he was appointed as the Windies' T20 captain following Darren Sammy's contentious sacking and led the side in their four-T20I series against Pakistan that concluded on Sunday.

King Carlos' final-over miracle

Coming off a 0-3 ODI series defeat to England, the Windies also dropped opener Kraigg Brathwaite from their 13-man squad to face Pakistan.

Fast-bowler Shannon Gabriel and wicketkeeper Chadwick Walton both earned recalls, with all three games to be held in Guyana.
